9 Decatur Guesthouse & Hostel

9 Decatur Guest House was perfect for our group of 6 bicyclists and 1 support vehicle to stay a night while biking from Pittsburgh -> DC on the GAP and C&O trails. The Inn was very close to the trail. We rented the entire home so we had plenty of space for our group to spread out. Gail, our host, was truly a pleasure to deal with from original booking to check-out. She is a wonderful communicator (and a fabulous cook as we purchased the breakfast option.) The Guest House was all things cycling from the room set aside with a bike rack for bike storage to fun and cozy decorations everywhere! The Inn is large (many bathrooms) and had many comfortable beds. Gail had tasty pastries waiting on arrival and was kind enough to let our support vehicle driver check-in early as soon as the Inn

If you love bikes, Gail’s guesthouse is the place to stay in Cumberland. If you don’t love bikes, Gail may just convince you otherwise! Some of the most joyous and funny bike-centric art greet you on every wall of the space, building your enthusiasm for a ride on the C&O canal trail or Great Allegheny Passage. Gail herself is a gem, generous with her time and advice. Our family has stayed there two years in a row, and hope to return again!

9 Decatur was a good final spot for us in Cumberland after riding the GAP from Pittsburgh. Gail has everything you need and her breakfast was truly the best I have ever had!!

This is a wonderful place, and a cool historic building. It's fixed up very well. Lots of beds, bathrooms, and showers. An indoor bike rack, full kitchen, comfortable living room, and nice dining area. Also so many cool bike things all over the place! There is a convenient deli just across the street and it is a short walk to the downtown area of Cumberland, and only a short ride to the GAP and C&O trails. Parking for cars is on the street.

So cute and cozy. A wonderful treat after camping and bike packing the C&O. Laundry on site and a deli across the street. Central and not far from the bike trails.
